Once a player receives his first scholarship offer, it usually means he will start to see more and more interest and more offers. Georgia Tech offered Lewis on March 1. Seven days later, he has two more offers.

Troy offered the 6-foot-2, 215-pound rover of a safety on Thursday, and then UConn followed up Friday with his third offer.

“It’s really showing how I’m starting to grow,” Lewis said. “It’s gotten me even more excited for spring ball so I can show everybody else what I got and what I can do.”

With National Signing Day still 330-plus days away, it’s a bit early in the process for any newly-offered player to be thinking about favorites, but Lewis said of the three offers he has, Georgia Tech would be the front-runner.

“I don’t really have preference right now. I’m just getting a feel for the coaches,” Lewis said. “Ultimately I want to go to a college where I’ll be comfortable for the next four years of my life.

“I have good relationship with Coach [Lamar] Owens for Georgia Tech and I’m getting comfortable with the other coaches. But as far as the schools that have offered me so far, I say yes, Georgia Tech is in front.”

Lewis trains with local speed and conditioning coach Lo Wood, the father of Notre Dame cornerback Lo Wood Jr.

“He’s been a really huge help getting my name out there and sending my film to all these coaches,” Lewis said. “He’s also a really good coach and good promoter. He’s just someone I can really trust.”

Other than Wood Sr. helping him through the process, Lewis said he doesn’t know of any players who have gone through a recruiting phase who could give him tips.

“Coming from Ocoee, we’re not recruited heavily,” Lewis said. “It’s just me and my dad and we’re just kind of looking up the rules and getting used to the whole process and just kind of going through that just by ourselves.”

The Seattle CEO who raised salaries for all of his employees to a minimum of $70,000 a year, drawing accusations of socialism, now says he has fallen on hard times, the Washington Times reported Saturday.

It's a battle that goes all the way back to their college days at the University of Miami — defensive end Olivier Vernon vs. left tackle Jason Fox. Now that matchup is taking place at the NFL level with the Dolphins, and there's much more at stake.
